Our Historical Evidence and Ethics Censure against arbitrary detention by The Armed Forces
assigned to Joint Task Force Omega Swirl settled in Cagu?n, Department of Caquet?, the
human rights defender JOS? ANTONIO GUTIERREZ, who was in this region, preceded by his
presence in the department of Putumayo, developing their investigative responsibilities as
a research assistant for members of the Historical Commission of Conflict and their
victims (CHCV), agreed between the government of President Juan Manuel Santos and the
delegation of Peace the FARC-EP in Havana.
Our Historical Evidence to the continued development of sustained military operations in
the minds of the enemy and to the extension of this ideology who may have some research,
supportive relationship with the people who remain in areas of armed conflict, claiming
environmental initiatives, agroecological, or several different definitions use posed by
institutional policies.
Our Historical Evidence of abuse suffered by a citizen, legally, is assisting in the
solution to the armed conflict, as JOS? ANTONIO, researcher at the Department of Sociology
at the University of Dublin (University College Dublin). The researcher and human rights
defender has been involved for several years in the area of human rights and solidarity
with peasant, indigenous, Afro-Colombian base, including partner in FENSUAGRO and
Communities Network Building Peace in the Territories , CONPAZ, and our Committee, in its
role as a research assistant in the methodology of participatory work and corroboration of
written sources has shifted during weekdays regions to give support or refute hypotheses
and thesis research work .
Before you the factual basis of the events on the occasion of the visit to communities and
community leaders Swirl.
* Tuesday, October 28 at 1:00 pm, JOS? ANTONIO traveled to swirl through two military
checkpoints, one in Cartagena del Chair? and the other in Pe?as Coloradas. In both seals
JOS? submitted documentation to the military. Upon admission jurisdiction of the
Inspection Swirls no presence of the police
* Wednesday October 29 at 10:30 am while defender investigator met with residents and JAC
two helicopter overflights about the school, who were meeting occurred.
The unusual flyby caused anxiety among the inhabitants of the region coincide in the right
place and time of the community meeting with the investigator CHCV.
* Thursday, October 30th at 7:00 am the boat in which JOS? return to Cartagena de Chair?
was retained for a period of more than an hour, without authorizing the game. 10 minutes
after the Navy authorized its navigation upriver, was intercepted by an artillery piranha,
causing fear among the passengers. The regular troops gave the order to return to swirl.
In Swirl, JOS? ANTONIO was detained and interrogated for over three hours, until
approximately 12 pm.
At that time, Captain JOSEPH ESTRADA allowed to retire.
The official reason for the interrogation and detention of JOSEPH was the failure to
register upon entering Swirl.
The military know that there is no constitutional obligation to make any submission to
entering any town. Regular ignored that there was no military presence at the time of the
arrival of JOS? to Swirls and that there had been two previous river checkpoints.
Regular argued that as JOSEPH was in a "red zone" must confirm your identity for their
safety, despite having all your documents in order.
* Friday, October 31 about 9:00 am in Pe?as Coloradas, JOSEPH was approached by members of
the Mobile Brigade 22 who questioned him about the reasons of your trip.
Later in the checkpoint of Cartagena de Chair?, military units boarded a JOS?. An agent in
civilian clothes, who identified himself as a member of the Mobile 6 brigade, again
questioning in an intimidating manner. Later, he told JOS? that should be returned as
quickly to Bogota.
According to some local sources, fearing not dare to publish their names, the reason for
military action against JOSEPH was searching, as a foreigner, arrest warrants or criminal
proceedings be opened by supporting rural communities .
Our Censorship Ethics in the aftermath of a military mindset that views it differently as
"military enemy" concept that generates absurd procedures justifies abuses and violations
of human rights leaders and rural communities living in conflict zones, and advocates
human rights or researchers.
Our Censorship Ethics to the continuation of a policy of repression against people in the
Middle and Lower Caguan that has been documented and confirmed in the process of
corroboration and investigation of JOS?. Judicial assemblies, mass arrests, enumerations,
restrictions on free movement, food, murders of social leaders, an extensive network of
informants in exchange for money up stories.
Our Censorship Ethics in the military inability to dismantle paramilitary structures
operating in certain geographical areas in the region which becomes a high risk factor for
the rights and freedoms of communities and community leaders, as recently happened with
MISAEL CARO threatened by paramilitaries known as the Black Eagles. While institutional
armed groups attempt to justify their abuses and violations of human rights by the
persecution of the FARC-EP, any trust or reconstruction of the rule of law will be
possible; while the omission, tolerance and complicity with paramilitary operations is
another game rule, illegal, against civilians, hardly a real peace will settle.
Our Ethics Censure before worrying harassment, persecution and monitoring community
leaders have met JORGE VEGA live in ASTRACAMCAG (subsidiary of Fensuagro), MISAEL CARO
PACHECO (ASOJUNTAS) and Hauner Restrepo (ASOJUNTAS) in Cartagena del Chair? as well as
ALEXANDER DIAZ the Community Action Board Swirl.
JOSE ANTONIO retention after meeting with these community leaders, is proof deficit
guarantees for social leaders under the so-called military consolidation as well as the
serious risk to which they are exposed. If the pretext was security of defense, why the
military did not provide guarantees for prompt evacuation of the region itself hampered
their mobility?
Given this fact against the researcher and human rights activist, JOS? ANTONIO, we
attended a deep concern for the guarantees to life and integrity, community leaders
freedoms of the Middle and Lower Caguan; anything that happened seems to indicate that
guarantees for the work are given in field research in the framework of peace talks, let
alone being acclimated to build an environment for the solution to the armed conflict.
We hope this letter allows you, according to their institutional responsibilities take all
measures necessary to clarify the facts here set forth above all enable leaders and
communities Caguan can continue living on their lands, their bets Community Life ,
solidarity, agro-ecological and environmental.
With deep concern,
Commission for Justice and Peace
